Flirtings & Salutations
Grocery Store | Indiana, USA | At The Checkout
(An older customer and his wife approach the register.)
Me: “Hello! How are you today?”
Customer: “Good. How are you?”
Me: “Oh, I’m pretty good!”
Customer: “You got the ‘pretty’ part right, but I’m not so sure about the ‘good’ part yet.”
(The customer’s wife glares at him. I feel pretty uncomfortable and start to scan his groceries.)
Customer: “Hmm…you’re pretty fast. Good, good…”
(I hurriedly scan the rest of their groceries and turn my attention elsewhere.)
